Ciao a tutti --- hello, fellas!

I hold an MSc Degree in Computer Engineering (Artificial Intelligence Systems) from Europe's largest university. My thesis was developed in VisLab under the local supervision of Prof. A. Bernardino; my home advisor in Rome was Prof. D. Nardi. The thesis consists of a module for Baltazar's cameras which infers 3D position and orientation of fancy sponges objects in the scene by approximating them as ellipses; this information is then used for reaching and grasping preparation. More on this can be found on the VisLab page.

As of May 2009, I am back in VisLab to work on the RobotCub project.

I am interested in 3D computer vision, humanoid robotics, human-robot interaction.
